Well, there are multiple different Python web frameworks, including Django, Pylons, TurboGears and Zope (also the barebones CherryPy). They're all much more high-level than PHP, including things like database APIs and templating languages. Most/all of them have books or at least good documentation and guides. If you're doing something really simple (one web page, minimal DB usage, whatever), you can use bare WSGI, perhaps like libraries like Beaker for sessions. Google all of the terms I used. There should be information available. :-P -- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

It probably should be possible with some caveats: - memory allocated by Python is never passed into the library such that it also ends up being subject to boehm-gc; - memory allocated by the library is never used by Python objects. So memcpy()ing between library allocated and Python allocated memory would seem to be a way to achieve this.

I am guessing it shouldn't be to different.

It is supported on Linux, *BSD & Solaris (I think) in addition to Windows. Ghostscript for quite some time has had support for being used as a library (DLL on Windows). There are only a small number of API functions exported, and there is information about the net for calling these API functions from Visual Basic. I wrote a wrapper module using ctypes for the API based on the C header and the VB information.

If the ISP gives you some directory space which isn't part of the exposed document tree, then simply move those subdirectories from the document tree outside to the additional space you have. Then refer to the files from there. If you can't do that because the document tree is all you have, then one remaining hack is to rename all the files in the subdirectories to begin with '.ht' prefix. This would generally work as default Apache configuration is to forbid access to any files starting with '.ht' prefix. Graham -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Who said anything about commit-rollbacks? But even if Python is not SQL, operations that half-succeed are a PITA whenever they can occur, because you end up having to code around them in all sorts of complicated and ugly ways. Either that, or you end up with odd corner cases hiding bugs. I was never a big fan of augmented assignments. I think it goes against the Python grain: it's an implied operation, using punctuation, for the sole (?) benefit of saving a keystroke or three. But I think this behaviour counts as a wart on the language, rather than a bug. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Try sendline(cmd2). Most cases you may never need to use send() with
pexpect.
Since you used send here, the command is not yet entered to the shell;
it's as though you typed the command and forgot to press enter.
Again try adding a wait using child.expect(prompt). This will ensure
'cmd2' completed and then you may want to clean up using a call to
child.close()
If things still don't work, try some simple commands like you are
doing with mkdir. Of course you want to first ensure you can manually
do all the steps that you are trying to automate with pexpect.

Re: CPython and a C extension using Boehm GC
Perhaps, you can pre-load the extension library when Python is
invoked. It is probably trying.
Pre-loading is commonly done done for memory management and profiling
libraries and it may (or may not) work for libraries including the
Boehm-GC. And if it does work, call GC_INIT inside the initialization
function of the extension library. The latter will be called just
before Python's main is.
If you are using the GNU C, writing the initialization function could
be as simple as
void __attribute__((constructor))
_initializer (void) /* any name */
{
call GC_INIT();
}
For more details, see under 'constructor'. Other compilers may support a
#pragma like init for this purpose.
Pre-loading a (shared) library on Linux is typically done using the
env command, e.g.:
$ env LD_PRELOAD= python
Some command shells support other ways and the name LD_PRELOAD may be
different on other O/S's.

Gluon 1.15 is out
Hello everybody,
Gluon 1.15 is out. This is a free open source framework for agile
development of secure database driven web applications, written in
Python, programmable in Python. Stable API and supported since October
1st 2007.
http://mdp.cti.depaul.edu
http://www.vimeo.com/428474 (video tutorial)
http://mdp.cti.depaul.edu/appliances (free plugin apps for gluon with
source)
Some features:
no installation (it is a single executable), no configuration
files,
no shell commands, all development, deployment and
maintenance is
done via a web interface
built-in ticketing system; if your app has a bug it is logged, the
user is notified and ticket is issued so that the administrator can
retrieve the event via the administrative interface.
Example of a COMPLETE working gluon app:
-- model: db.py
db=SQLDB('sqlite://file.db')
db.define_table('images',SQLField('file','upload'))
-- controller: default.py -
def index():
form=SQLFORM(db.images)
if form.accepts(request.vars,session): response.flash='image
uploaded'
return dict(form=form)
---
what does it do?
it creates the database, creates the table (if it
does not exists) or
alters the table (if description does not match),
creates a web page
called index with an upload form for the image.
When the visitor
clicks submit, the file is uploaded, renamed in a
safe way, stored in
a file serverside, the name is stored in the
database, and the user is
a notified. It also creates a session and
handles it via a cookie. It also writes a web based administrative
interface for the newly created database.
Merry Christmas.

What you most likely want to do is run the win32gui call inside an infinite loop. Something along these lines: # untested code import time while True: winTitle = GetWindowText(GetForegroundWindow()) if winTitle == 'some string': # do something time.sleep(1) # nap for a second This will check once a second to see what window you have up. You'll probably want to set some kind of sentinel value when it does something to the current window so it doesn't repeatedly do that something each second. Thus, the if-then logic will need to be more complex, but this should get you going. HTH Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Hi group, I would like to convert the output of the SQL query, or more generally I would like to convert any "table" data to the html table. I would like to set some rules to format cells, columns or rows (font, colour etc.) of the html table, according to the values in the specific cells. Googling for a while I have found only this tool: http://pasko.net/PyHtmlTable/ Your tips to some other tools or/and your suggestion how to solve above mentioned will be very helpful. Thanks and regards Petr Jakes -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

So what? I'm not sure about current HD speeds, but a couple of years ago these were about 30MByte/s - and should be faster today. Which equals 240MBit/s, much more than your user's internet connection. and this is raw IO speed, not counting disk caches.

CPython and a C extension using Boehm GC
Hi everyone, Is it possible to write a Python extension that uses the Boehm garbage collector? I have a C library written that makes use of boehm-gc for memory management. To use that, I have to call GC_INIT() at the start of the program that uses the library. Now I want to encapsulate the library as a CPython extension. The question is really is that possible? And will there be conflicts between the boehm-gc and Python memory management? And when should I call GC_INIT? Best Regards, Muhammad Alkarouri -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

How to detect when a user switches between windows (in WinXP)?
Hi everyone, I'm a beginning-to-intermediate Python programmer with some experience in other languages. At the moment I am trying to write a Python program that will run in the background and execute a series of commands whenever I switch between windows (my OS is Windows XP). For example, I want my program to do something when I switch to my Firefox browser, and then do something else when I switch to a certain sub- window in Photoshop (which has a certain title, and a certain photo associated with it), then do yet another thing when I switch to another sub-window (with a different title and photo) within Photoshop. The particular actions will be based on the window's title. I've already figured out how to retrieve that, using GetWindowText(GetForegroundWindow()) from the win32gui module. My question is, how can I detect when the user switches between windows? I haven't been able to figure that part out yet. Searching the group didn't give me any answers. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! Assaf. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Indeed, pywin32 stops working :( I installed Python "just for me", then I installed pywin32-210, and now Pythonwin.exe is not able to start. So for this scenario it seems to be necessary, that the Python DLL is installed into the system32 folder. Maybe the Python installer should issue a warning that pywin32 will not be able to work when using the option "just for me"?

Yes, that works fine when deploying the application. However, during development it is inconveninent to put our own Python DLL beside our executable every time. Our Python DLL (compiled with MSVC 8.0) is in the PATH. If the original Python DLL would be located in the Python installation folder, there would be no problem. But since it is placed in the system32 folder which is searched before the PATH (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682586(VS.85).aspx), the original Python DLL (compiled with MSVC 7.1) is used instead of your own one.

I've never used "rw" mode, and suspect that's the cause of your
problems here. I see no need for it here. Since you are going
to read the whole file in at once, you might as well write it (plus
the modification) all out again.
Also I notice that your close is called only if the pattern is not
found, even though you should call it for *every* file opened.
Also, you are not using the regular expression machinery as intended.
You are really just searching for a know and constant substring. Use
"in" instead.
Also I *always* read in binary mode (thereby forcing Windows to keep
it's damn hands off my bytes).
Also, don't use variables named 'file'. That overrides an important
builtin.
Here's what I'd end up with. (This is untested.)
import glob
f = open("activate.tmpl", "rb")
template = "\r\n" + f.read()
f.close()
for fname in glob.glob('*.frm'):
inf = open(fname, "rb")
content = inf.read()
inf.close()
if 'Form_Activate' not in content:
print "Not in", fname
outf = open(fname, 'wb')
outf.write(content)
outf.write(template)
outf.close()
